Description
NB: This course will have a 2 week break on 22nd/29th Dec. It will therefore finish on 13th Jan
A 6 week pottery wheel throwing course for beginners and intermediates.
In this course you’ll be guided by an experienced tutor through the whole process of throwing pots on a wheel: from throwing cylinders and bowls, to turning the underneath of them. With a focus on centring and learning to throw independently, the course will engross you in the process, helping you lose track of time. Towards the end of the course your pots will be fired and you’ll learn to glaze them.
Each class is 2 hours long
- Each person has their own silent Whisper-T potter’s wheel during the entire course.
- All equipment is included in the course.
- We recommend: short nails, wearing clothes you don’t mind getting dirty (aprons provided), and bringing along a hand towel. There’s 30 minutes of collaborative clean-up within the timeframe to return the studio into a clean state.
- Materials are charged at £1.90 per lb on collection.
- Although it’s not necessary, we recommend first trying our taster class if you haven’t tried pottery before.
